Chapter 8 Arrow on the String Section 18 The Fengshui River in spring is beautiful and gentle, the clear river water sings all the way, carefree, and the flowers on the river bank are particularly enchanting against the backdrop of the tender green grass.

Ma Chao leaned under a big tree, silently looking at the river, letting the gentle breeze blow his cheeks. Should I betray Mr.?

Am I right or wrong to do this? Pound's words woke him up. Without strength, you can't take revenge until you die.

Whether it is Han Sui or Northern Xinjiang, they first consider their own interests, no one will harm their own interests to help others, they only give themselves a little sympathy and mercy at most.

It's ridiculous that he was so naïve that he believed that Han Sui and his father's group of old friends would help him avenge his hatred.

I want strength, I want the strength to take revenge. Mr. has done nothing wrong, and if he were himself, he would not help others to take revenge, let alone risk the lives of his own men to do a meaningless thing.

The gentleman is right, and it is himself who is wrong. He is ignorant, stupid, reckless, and irritable, and if he continues like this, he will have no revenge and his life will be lost.

Pound left Chang'an after sending himself to the barracks. I didn't go to see him off. Although he is very grateful to Pound, Pound's real purpose is not for himself, he is for Northern Xinjiang and for Han Sui.

Pound's actions told him that in this world, there is no friendship at all, what brotherly righteousness, what life and death are the same, what is a knife in both ribs, it is all fake.

Without strength, you are a dog who is abused and manipulated at will. Who wants to be a brother to a dog?

Who would tie their fate to a dog? When you're a wolf, though, it's a different story.

I'm going to be a wolf, a ruthless and cruel wolf. A group of iron horsemen rushed along the riverbank, shattering the silence of the riverside in an instant.

Wang Rong, Jiang Feng, and Yang Feifei dismounted and hurriedly caught up with Ma Chao.

"Are you all ready?" Wang Rong nodded,

"It's my brother who is stationed in Huaili City now. He has already promised that he will open the city gates, let us set fire to the grain and grass, and then return to Longxi with us. Ma Chao looked at him coldly,

"You are the son of the kingdom, and you have a great career in the Longxi family, if we fail, what it means to you, do you know?"

"We're not going to fail." Wang Rong smiled confidently,

"In Longxi, it is the world of our Wang family and your Ma family. Even if we can't hold Longxi, we can still retreat to the Qiang land, borrow troops from the Qiang people, and make a comeback. ”

"Is Ma Dai already gone?" Jiang Feng asked.

"He has rushed back to Longxi day and night and borrowed troops from my *** tribe." Ma Chao approached the three of them and said in a low voice,

"White Horse Qiangqu Shuai Hongri and Han Sui are mortal enemies. With his help, even if Han Sui does not die, he will not want to dominate the Western Xinjiang and do whatever he wants. ”

"Meng Qi, although Han Sui has been crisscrossing Western Xinjiang for more than ten years, he is already old, and now it's our turn." Jiang Feng waved the horse whip in his hand, full of arrogance,

"If we can successfully kill Han Sui this time, how many people under Chang'an City will be able to escape back to the western frontier? Western Xinjiang will soon be our world. Ma Chao took a deep breath, and his whole body was suddenly filled with murderous aura.

"Kill Han Sui. Let's go back to the western frontier. Han Sui looked at Ma Chao, who was sitting opposite, and was very pleased. After Ma Chao left the prison tent, it was as if he had changed someone.

He combed his long hair, trimmed his beard, and was not noisy or noisy, except for the melancholy and painful eyes, the horse was no different from the past, and his whole body was full of high fighting spirit.

Han Sui was very happy. Ma Chao, the unruly tiger, was still tamed by himself, and he regained his senses and got rid of his great hatred.

This is a good sign. Tonight, Han Sui invited Ma Chao and wanted to chat with him casually, and by the way, he told Ma Chao his thoughts about the battle in Guanzhong, and asked him not to worry, this revenge will be avenged sooner or later.

Ma Chao is sober now, and he should be able to listen. However, when Ma Chao walked into Han Sui's military tent and saluted him respectfully, he suddenly pulled out his war knife and slashed it out with a thunderous force.

"Die......" Han Sui was taken aback, instinctively fell to the ground, and kicked the case table in front of him out.

The war knife leaked down, and the case was cut off in a few moments. Ma Chao hurriedly took a step and broke Han Sui's calf with one kick, and the war knife roared down again.

Han Sui was dumbfounded, watching as the war knife slashed into his chest. Yan Xing pounced in, his eyes cracking,

"Ma Chao, you brute......" He was still more than twenty steps away from Ma Chao, and he didn't have time to rescue at all, so he could only raise his crossbow as fast as he could and shoot crossbow arrows.

The crossbow arrow roared away, heading straight for Ma Chao's back. Ma Chao's knife can hack Han Sui to death, but he himself will definitely be killed by an arrow.

Ma Chao chose to fly forward, and at the moment when he could dodge the crossbow arrows, he turned over and jumped up, and the battle knife slashed at Han Sui for the third time.

Han Sui took advantage of this short moment to pull out the long sword at his waist. Yan Xing also rushed over, and the guards outside the tent also rushed in.

Swords collide and sparks splash everywhere.

"Kill ......" Ma Chao was bound to cut off Han Sui's long sword and cut into Han Sui's waist and abdomen, and blood burst out.

"Kill ......" Yan Xing heard Han Sui's scream, his anger suddenly exploded, and with a heaven-shattering roar, his sturdy body rose into the air, and the human knife was one, and he collided with Ma Chao, who raised the knife for the fourth time.

Ma Chaolei roared, the castration of the war knife remained unchanged, his left hand became a fist, and he smashed it fiercely against Yan Xing.

"Roll ......" Han Sui endured the huge pain, crawled with a roll, and moved his body vigorously. Yan Xing's sword slashed into the air, and Ma Chao's fist smashed into his chest.

Yan Xing screamed miserably, opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his body that was flying in the air suddenly flew upside down.

Ma Chao's strength was concentrated on this amazing punch, and the battle knife failed to cut off Han Sui's head and chopped Han Sui's shoulder blade.

When Ma Chao was about to raise his sword for the fifth time, the guards rushed over with spears in hand.

"Kill ......" Ma Chao roared wildly, his sword flew like a fly, his fists and feet were used at the same time, and he punished eleven people in one breath. When he rushed out of the tent, he glanced back.

In the big tent, the dead bodies were in disarray, and the blood was so full of blood that there was no longer a single person standing. Wang Rong, Jiang Feng, and Yang Fei took the iron cavalry into the gate.

Ma Chao and a group of guards took advantage of the chaos to break out of the encirclement, joined the main iron cavalry, and rushed towards Huaili City.

Han Sui was seriously injured, the grain and grass accumulated in Huaili City were burned, and the situation of the Western Xinjiang Army suddenly became extremely dangerous.

Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi and others immediately prepared to evacuate Chang'an.

"No, retreat in a hurry at this time, Yuan Shao will inevitably follow, and the army may be defeated." Han Sui was dying and tried his best to stop it.

"Sir, the army has no food and grass, how can it be supported?" Yang Qiu was frightened and asked eagerly.

"How much grain and grass are there in the two camps of Feng and Ho?"

"If you save it, it can last for ten days."

"Then let the army of foot soldiers withdraw first." Han Di endured the pain and said in a trembling voice,

"Remember, don't withdraw during the day, don't withdraw until night. Order the Iron Cavalry to go around and kill as many enemy scouts as possible to prevent news from leaking. ”

"Sir, when will the Iron Rider leave?"

"Urgently tell General Pang De, who is stable, and General Yang Feng of Hedong, ask them to send troops to Guanzhong as a response." Han Sui said bitterly,

"After the infantry army withdrew to Chencang, the iron cavalry army began to withdraw." The Western Xinjiang army repeatedly attacked Guanzhong and was repeatedly defeated, and the retreat was often full of dangers.

At this moment, Han Sui's words were like a holy decree to Yang Qiu and the others, no one doubted it, and no one disobeyed it.

"Sir, will the Northern Frontier Army help?"

"The Northern Frontier Army will definitely help." Han Sui smiled bitterly,

"If we all withdraw into Western Xinjiang, Yuan Shaobing will occupy the entire Guanzhong without bloodshed, which is not a good thing for Hebei."

"Sir still wants to occupy Fufeng County?" Yang Qiu asked in surprise,

"Ma Chao has returned to Western Xinjiang, and Western Xinjiang is about to be in chaos, where do we still have the strength to occupy Fufeng County at this time?"

"Ma Chao is still a child, and he has no strength, so there is nothing to worry about. No one in Western Xinjiang will follow him, and Western Xinjiang will not be in chaos. Han Sui shook his hand gently,

"It's not easy for us to send a large army to attack Guanzhong this time, we can't just get nothing and go back in disgrace. We withdrew to Qishan, held the line of Wugong and Yicheng, and then negotiated peace with Yuan Shao and forced him to give up Fufeng County to us. ”

"In the past, Ma Teng was in Fufeng County, and we could still get some help more or less. Now that Ma Teng is gone, and Fufeng County is gone, Western Xinjiang will be even more miserable. Hebei is too far away from us, and that little relief is a drop in the bucket for Western Xinjiang, and it will not help. If Yuan Shao blockades Western Xinjiang, we can't buy some grain from Hanzhong. Han Sui looked at everyone and said solemnly,

"Fufeng County is very important to us, and we must not lose it."

"Make peace with Yuan Shao?" Yang Qiu and the others widened their eyes in disbelief. At this moment, the army has reached the point of exhaustion, will Yuan Shao negotiate peace with Western Xinjiang?

"Sir, we have no more food and grass." Horse Play reminded,

"After we asked the two generals, Pang De and Yang Feng, to send troops to respond, Hebei immediately knew that we had begun to evacuate, and they would no longer supply grain and grass." A faint smile flashed across Han Sui's bloodless face,

"We still have food and grass." Facing the surprised eyes of the generals, Han Sui said slowly: "If Xijiang can occupy Guanzhong this time, the situation in the world will definitely change greatly, especially for Hebei, so Hebei does not want us to occupy Guanzhong." Although Hebei promised to supply us with grain and grass, once we really defeated Yuan Shao, the supply of grain and grass would probably be cut off. ”

"The army has no food and grass, and the situation in Guanzhong will be reversed immediately, and I can't help but guard against it. Therefore, as early as the beginning of the year, I sent Shi Lingru to Hanzhong to buy grain from Zhang Lu. Han Sui barely squeezed out a smile,

"The general is really good. He knew that transporting grain from the north to the west would consume too much along the way, so he allocated me as much gold and silk as possible to facilitate me to buy grain in Hanzhong, Bashu and other places for emergency relief. Although there is a shortage of food in western Xinjiang, there is still money in the treasury, which is enough for us to survive this crisis. Yang Qiu and the others were overjoyed, and their nervous mood suddenly relaxed.

"Sir, so we still have grain and grass in the area of Dasanguan and Chencang?" Han Sui nodded,

"The top priority now is to withdraw the troops steadily and not give Yuan Shao any opportunity to take advantage of it."

"When the stable Pang De and Yang Feng of Hedong have sent troops, Yuan Shao will not dare to pursue. At that time, our army was still in the Qishan area, Fufeng County was almost in our hands, we could still threaten Chang'an at all times, and Yuan Shao could not keep his main army in Guanzhong all the time, so he had only one way to solve the current crisis. ”

"Make peace with us." Yang Qiu waved his hand excitedly and said,

"Sir, it's really a last resort."

"Sir, if we negotiate peace with Yuan Shao, the general will ......" Ma Yu frowned deeply and was slightly worried.

"The general will understand." Han Sui closed his eyes and let out a long sigh,

After Ma Chao's betrayal, he could only flee to Longxi and ask for help from the white horse qiang's Hongri and the iron head of the wolf. Although there is no chaos in Western Xinjiang, it seems that the battle in the Longxi area will definitely be fought. As soon as Longxi is beaten, the Burning Dangqiang and Xianbei people in the Wuwei area will take the opportunity to go south. The Hu people are attacked from the north and south, and we are attacked by the enemy on our backs, and the life of the western Xinjiang has not been easy in the past two years. ”

"But we can't lose the western frontier, and we can't give up the territory of the Han Dynasty to the barbarians. Xijiang is our home, our roots, and every drop of our blood will be shed on the land of Xijiang, fighting for Xijiang and dying for Xijiang. ”

"There is no shortage of fierce warriors in Western Xinjiang, what is lacking is money, food, and ordnance."

"Since Hebei can't meet our needs, it can't stop us from negotiating peace with Yuan Shao." Han Sui opened his eyes and looked at the generals gathered around,

"Do you think I'm shameless?" Yang Qiu and the others looked gloomy, not knowing how to comfort Han Sui.

For a person like Han Sui, doing this kind of thing does damage his reputation and is a shame for his life, but ...... Sitting on the side, Yan Xing, who was depressed, couldn't help but shed tears.

"Sir, what will we do if Hebei threatens Guanzhong in the future?" Yang Qiu asked,

"Without the containment of the Northern Xinjiang Army, we can't hold Fufeng County."

"I have occupied Fufeng County, I have reached Guanzhong, I have threatened Chang'an, and I have restrained Yuan Shao's troops." Han Sui smiled bitterly,

"As for whether I can beat Yuan Shao or not, that's another matter. I don't fight Yuan Shao, and I maintain a tacit understanding with Yuan Shao, which does not affect my commitment to the general. ”

"Will Yuan Shao believe Mr.?"

"Yuan Shao had to believe me. Now what other options does he have? "Indeed, in order to dominate the Central Plains, Yuan Shao needs the stability of Guanzhong and needs to transfer troops to the Central Plains battlefield.

He has to believe if he doesn't believe it.

"If Yuan Shao occupies the Central Plains, we ......"

"We lost the opportunity to occupy Guanzhong, Hebei is equivalent to regaining control of the situation in the world, and Yuan Shao can no longer occupy the Central Plains." Han Sui looked up to the sky and sighed,

"It won't be long before the general's iron cavalry will surely go down and crisscross the Central Plains." Jump to
